Summary: After several previous Bernie Gunther novels set in the postwar era (including the Edgar Award-nominated Field Gray), Kerr has returned the anti-Nazi German police detective to the early days of World War II. Reinhard Heydrich, SS head and ruler of occupied Czechoslovakia, fears for his life and orders Gunther to Prague to help protect him at a weekend gathering of high-ranking Party members. For Gunther, it is a marriage made in hell as his contempt for the Reich percolates just below the surface. Kerr has written close to a dozen novels featuring Gunther and has yet to write a bad one. His latest is a grim, gripping, and almost overwhelmingly dark and brooding tale of life in the decaying Reich as Nazi Germany lurches toward its ultimate destruction. Although part of a series, Prague Fatale stands alone quite well.
